Nova To Discuss Goals

TOWN TALK

The new administration of the Nova schools will conduct an informational meeting today to explain the schools' new mission to parents.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Nova High School, 3600 College Ave.

The schools were established in the 1960s as laboratories, where teachers wrote their own texts and visitors observed classroom lessons. The schools have strayed from that mission over the years, but next year administrators plan to make the schools a research and teacher-training center for the Broward County school district.

The schools will operate as one continuous kindergarten through 12th grade campus where learning flows from primary to secondary grades in an organized fashion.
